Kewan Braziel gives Texas Southern a battle-tested lefty with starter mileage and bullpen flexibility
In the 2025 season, Braziel handled a heavy workload for Texas Southern, making 13 appearances and logging 64.0 innings, and in the 2026 season he returned as a senior left-hander and team captain, which says plenty about his trust level and presence[1][2]. He’s a 5-foot-10, 185-pound L/L pitcher with starter and relief experience, and his value is in competitiveness, innings-eating durability, and the ability to take the ball in different roles[2]. The stat line is uneven, but the bigger story is a tough, experienced arm who has been used in meaningful spots and can fit a staff that wants a reliable lefty with leadership and versatility[1][4].
